$9.95

The path to lasting lifestyle change is complex, individualized and influenced by a myriad of factors. To best navigate this journey, it necessitates fitness and wellness professionals going beyond solely devising a plan and educating clients or participants on what to do. Instead, it requires an understanding of the science of behavior change as well as the cultivation of practical skills by which to empower patients to develop and sustain health-promoting behaviors, like regularly exercising. Join Dr. Jessica Matthews for an exploration into practical, evidence-based approaches you can use to support those you serve on the path to improved health and well-being.
